Dirge for a Mutinous Philosopher

lyrics

Do you take me for an devil?
Do you take me for a friend?
Is it to or from Damnation? Who's the devil in the end?

Do you take me for an angel?
Do you take me for a foe?
Did I lead you to salvation, or did you lead yourself below?

Do you take me for the winter?
Do you blame me for the cold?
Like admonishing a young man by forgetting to grow old?

Do you take me as a songbird?
Do you take me as a crow?
Does a raven ever forget what lies beneath the snow?

Do you take me as a chimney?
Do I pollute the earth?
While you enjoy the comfort of the fire in your hearth?

Do you take me as a serpent?
Does a serpent not hunt rat?
Beyond our field of vision, are lice at war with gnats?

Do you take me as a scarecrow?
Do I not yearn to fly?
Crucified and stuffed with straw, condemned to live a lie

Do you take me for a hunter?
How often do you pray?
Do you ever ask the thunder if the lightning's here to stay?

Take me for the Devil, acknowledging a friend.
Take me as the Winter, but does not Winter end?

Take me as a bat, gestating in the Serpent.
The Scarecrow's only friend, that is I; Emergent.
